Now reading: Chapter 553: Poison But Not Poison from Children of a Lesser God, a Fantasy novel by Rathan.

As soon as the first few people were freed, they helped the others escape as well. One of them, Deanna’s assistant, quickly picked up the dropped tablet from Rick and began typing on it, quickly freeing the ones who were trapped on the floors below.

As for Rick, he and the pilot were quickly detained by the incoming security forces after having woken up. Rick wasn’t that strong in the first place and having been thrown by Laz then beaten down by his aura and that of the visiting lust god, he was out for a while. By the ti he ca to, a collar had already been placed around his neck, negating his powers.

As for Deanna, she was still in a bad way, but being looked at by so of the dical staff.

"This corporate office has a dical staff? Brittany asked at one point.

"Don’t think too much into it," Laz responded.

As things were being handled though, Deanna erupted in a burst of power as they were trying to load her onto a stretcher to bring her downstairs, causing all of the dical staff to be thrown away.

"What’s happening?" Laz asked, coming closer.

"I’m... not sure..." The doctor said while being helped to his feet.

"She’s been poisoned with sothing. It’s causing her entire body to burn at a high temperature." Strangely, it was Amira who answered when the doctor was out of ideas.

Laz turned to Amira and noticed her power was flowing. While he had seen her fight, even if it wasn’t a serious fight, he had never really gotten an idea as to her true abilities. But with her eyes locked onto Deanna, it seed like she was seeing through her body and her condition without issue. While Laz could look inside soone with his own heavenly gaze, he couldn’t exactly tell if there was sothing wrong or not with just a peek.

"Any idea what it could be?" Laz asked.

"No... I’ve never seen anything like it and I have seen a lot," Amira replied, sowhat ashad at her own failure.

"Bring her to her office and have Rick taken there as well. I’ll get the answers out of him one way or another," Laz ordered and the guards complied. While he was surprised by this, he didn’t question it.

"The guards have this, you two co with ," Laz said, leading the group back down through the now opened elevator.

"Why her office?" Brittany asked, figuring they had a dical bay sowhere that would be better equipped.

"Not sure it’s going to make a difference where we go, but the important thing is the defenses of the room itself. While we might be safe now, I have no way of telling if those bastards from the temple might try sothing again and I know from previous experience that the floor for the CEO has extra protections in place. As for the dical bay, I have no idea," Laz admitted.

Deanna and several dical staff were already there when they arrived while Deanna was still on the stretcher. Groups ca in and left over and over again, bringing in various devices and supplies. As for Deanna’s assistant, while she was worried about her boss, she was still trying to get a grasp on everything that had happened in the building while everyone was knocked out.

Rick had been tied to a chair with two guards standing over him, their weapons pointed straight at his chest in case he tried sothing.

"Alright. So you’re going to tell so things and if you lie, I promise you will regret it. First things first. What did you do to her?" Laz asked, pulling up a chair and sitting in front of Rick.

"Heh. Fuck you. How about that?" Rick replied, in much the manner that Laz was expecting.

Reaching into his space pouch, Laz removed a piece of the white wood he had received a long ti ago and brought it up to Rick’s face.

"Know what this is?" Laz asked, staring Rick in the face.

"Your dildo?"

"Hmm.. damn. I was hoping you could tell . Cause I don’t know what it is either," Laz said, before ramming the stick down into Rick’s thigh and straight through the bottom of the chair.

Rick couldn’t help but scream, and Laz motioned to one of the guards who took out a strip of cloth, jamming it into Rick’s mouth before using another strip to tie it around the gag.

"Thank you," Laz said, knowing that these guards were anything but simple security.

What Laz didn’t know was that all of the guards of the building had been specially trained and ard for things like this. And yet when they were needed most, they had been led into a trap by their so called boss and imprisoned, rendering them completely useless in the companies ti of need.

It was an embarrassnt that couldn’t be washed away easily, but seeing the way this young man was behaving was a good start.

"You lost your chance to speak. You might regain it again, but for now you’ll have to just shake your head yes and no. Understand?" Laz asked to the man with tears running down his eyes.

Rick nodded while trying his best to fight back the pain.

"Don’t bother. I imprinted a small rune on the piece that helps to seal it up for the most part. If the rune wasn’t there, that tiny sliver of white wood would be enough to suck your powers dry and leave you a shriveled up husk for months. With that run in place, all it does is restrict your bodies ability to heal while also cutting off the flow of blood further on. aning, that if it stays in there too long, not only will you not heal, but the lower part of your leg will eventually turn green, then white... and then fall off. Pretty fun huh?" Laz said with a smile on his face.

Rick didn’t respond.

"I asked you if it was fun?" Laz said, pulling out another stick.

This ti Rick nodded.

"Then why aren’t you smiling?" Laz asked with a smile on his own face. Although Rick’s lips and mouth couldn’t be seen, you could still tell when soone was smiling.

Rick force a smile past the pain.

"Now then. You gave her a poison, right?" Laz asked, rembering his questions had to be yes or no.

Rick shook his head no.

"Oh. Funny... I guess one stake wasn’t enough for you, hmm?" Laz said before driving the new stick through his other thigh, causing Rick’s body to thrash around in agony.

When he finally settled down enough to pay attention, Laz pulled out yet another piece of wood.

"Now then... poison?" Laz asked again, holding the stick up to his arm this ti.

Rick vigorously shook his head no again although he hesitated at first, causing Laz to ponder that.

"Hey Amira... could it be sothing other than poison?" Laz asked turning over to Amira and the doctor trying to restrain Deanna.

"I don’t... it’s possible. I can’t tell what a substance is, just that there is a foreign elent in her body and it’s causing her distress," Amira replied, finally able to strap one of her legs down. Just as Amira was about to move on to the other leg, her elbow brushed against Deanna’s breasts accidently causing the struggling woman to moan a loud and seductive sound.

Everyone was shocked for a mont.

"No... fucking... way..." Amira said as she starred at the woman.

"Did you figure sothing out?" Brittany asked, standing off to the side. While she hadn’t been helping, she also wasn’t trying to stand in the way either. Being around all of these awakened was causing her to feel a bit worried, but since she had been with Laz, they had just ignored her.

"It’s not... this stuff doesn’t actually exist..." Amira was mumbling while closing her eyes. The doctors looked over at her for a mont until Amira opened her eyes again.

"What?" Laz asked, looking over.

"It’s probably an aphrodisiac...."

"Seriously?"

"Her increased body temperature along with heightened sensitivity? There are drugs that do that, but not to such a degree as this. Normally stuff like that is nothing but a sham... but this seems like the real deal..." Amira responded back.

"Are you a doctor or sothing?" Laz asked, looking at the young woman in a new light.

"My parents wanted both and my sister to be doctors yes. While I have a dical degree, thanks to so issues with my birth records, I can’t get a license..." Amira admitted.

"Ah... So is that what you gave her?" Laz turned back around to Rick who then nodded again.

"And is there an antidote?" Laz said while motioning to the guards who removed the gag.

"There... isn’t...." Rick managed to get out from clenched teeth, still fighting back on the pain and afraid to suffer any more of those sticks though his body.

"Then how were you planning on curing her?"

"She.... needs to.... orgasm.... enough to... burn through... the... stuff...."

"And you were going to be the one to do this? She’s your girlfriend... why the fuck did you do it like this?" Laz asked, hoping it wasn’t what he was thinking.

"It... wasn’t for ..... I was... going to get... points... with the temple.... from using her.... selling... other guys.... or girls...." Laz shook his head and the guards shut Rick up.

"Now what?" Amira asked, at a loss for words.

Laz sighed and looked over at the large screen on the wall. Ever since he ca in, he noticed the green light had been on, sothing that he hadn’t observed before when he was here. Had it been anyone else, they wouldn’t have noticed him.

"So what do my wives want to do?" Laz said, looking straight at the screen.

It lit up to his question as Kennedy, Celes, Malene, Ruby, and Leona ca into view, sitting at a conference table with Kennedy in the lead seat. They were all smiling at knowing that Laz had known they were watching the whole ti.

"You know what to do hubby. Don’t worry about us. But Deanna is a very important and useful branch manager for us. So her life needs to be saved," Kennedy said as the others in the room, including the newly returned assistant dropped the tablet she was holding in shock.

"I figured you’d say that," Laz said with a sigh.

"However babe. There will be so discussion later about your.... associating with one of the chosen. I do hope you’re prepared for the questions we will be sure to ask," Leona said, glaring at Brittany.

"Nothing escapes you, does it?" Laz said with a smile while looking back at his chocolate goddess.

"It doesn’t. It either submits... or it dies. Good luck sweetheart," Leona said as the other girls laughed and the screen went dark.

The silence in the room was deafening.
